experience in the league.

and smart angles to the ball.

up speedy quarterbacks like Josh Allen in open space.

while another had him battling a tight end to A, stands still before shedding the block.

Coverage has some limitations at top speed, but he snagged a picksticks against the Patriots

and a lucky bounce.
